Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Peach
- 16 pieces Fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
- 16 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 15-20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Wash the peaches thoroughly, then cut each peach into 8 wedges. Remove and discard the pits.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush the peach wedges lightly with the mixture to enhance their flavor and prevent sticking to the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Assemble the skewers by threading each with one peach wedge, a basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at the top and bottom for handling. Complete all 8 skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the peaches develop light grill marks. Use tongs to handle the skewers gently to prevent the cheese from melting too much.
Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a serving platter.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the skewers for a tangy finish.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your Peach Skewers as a delightful appetizer or snack.
